1. CHAPTER 14: IMPERILISM

2. Using your prior knowledge make list of countries that you believe the United states has intervened in militarily.

Remember completing the warm-up is part of your class work grade.

3. The List

4. Imperialism
Imperialism: Is the economic and political domination of a strong country nation over weaker ones.
The idea of imperialism originally started in Europe where countries were trying to expand their power base.

5. European expansion
European countries began to expand into other parts of the world for a few reasons:
1. A lack of raw materials for growing industry.
2. High tariffs reduced the trade between countries.
3. Investment opportunities had slowed down.
Other countries eventually either developed into colonies or protectorates.
Protectorate: An imperial power allows local rulers to stay in control and be protected against rebellion.

6. Take a moment Consider what we have been talking about.
How would you feel if you lived in one of the countries that was a protectorate of Europe?
How would you possibly view your government?
Is there anything could do to change things?

7. In Class
Why did the United States become involved in imperialism?
In what ways do Anglo-Saxonism, Manifest Destiny, and Building a modern Navy relate to U.S. expansion?

8. American Progress, an 1872 painting by John Gast is an allegorical representation of the modernization of the new west. Here Columbia, a personification of the United States, leads civilization westward with American settlers. She brings light from the East into the darkness of the West, stringing telegraph wire as she sweeps west; she holds a school book as well. The different stages of economic activity of the pioneers are highlighted and, especially, the evolving forms of transportation.
Manifest Destiny

9. Reasons for U.S. Expansion
The United States was industrializing.
For a long time expansion for the U.S. meant expanding into the west.
As the western frontier filled the next option for economic expansion was an overseas market.
Also the U.S. felt that they had to compete with Europe or they might become weaker overtime. Under Social Darwinism only the strongest country would survive.

10. Anglo-Saxonism
John Fiske looked at the idea of Social Darwinism and expanded upon it. Anglo-Saxonism: A popular idea in both Britain and America. Based around the idea that that English Speaking nations had superior Character ideas and systems of government.

11. Why are the idea of Anglo Saxonism and Manifest Destiny important ideas when it comes to the expansion of U.S. diplomacy?

12. American Imperialism

13. “The White Man’s Burden”: Kipling’s Hymn to U.S. Imperialism
In February 1899, British novelist and poet Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem entitled “The White Man’s Burden: The United States and The Philippine Islands.” In this poem, Kipling urged the U.S. to take up the “burden” of empire, as had Britain and other European nations. Published in the February, 1899 issue of McClure’s Magazine, the poem coincided with the beginning of the Philippine-American War and U.S. Senate ratification of the treaty that placed Puerto Rico, Guam, Cuba, and the Philippines under American control. Theodore Roosevelt, soon to become vice-president and then president, copied the poem and sent it to his friend, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, commenting that it was “rather poor poetry, but good sense from the expansion point of view.” Not everyone was as favorably impressed as Roosevelt. The racialized notion of the “White Man’s burden” became a euphemism for imperialism, and many anti-imperialists couched their opposition in reaction to the phrase.

14. White Man’s Burden Take up the White Man’s burden—
Send forth the best ye breed—
And reap his old reward:
Go send your sons to exile
The blame of those ye better
To serve your captives' need
The hate of those ye guard—
To wait in heavy harness
The cry of hosts ye humour
On fluttered folk and wild—
(Ah slowly) to the light:
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
Half devil and half child
Take up the White Man’s burden
“Our loved Egyptian night?”
In patience to abide
Take up the White Man’s burden-
To veil the threat of terror
Have done with childish days-
And check the show of pride;
The lightly proffered laurel,
By open speech and simple
The easy, ungrudged praise.
An hundred times made plain
Comes now, to search your manhood
To seek another’s profit
And work another’s gain
Through all the thankless years,
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!

15. The Modern Navy
Aside Anglo-Saxonism, Reverend Josiah Strong expanded on the idea of Manifest Destiny, making link between the two.
Manifest Destiny: The idea that America was destined by God to spread its influence around the world.
The United States based on demand built a modern Navy to compete with foreign interest.

19. Annexing Hawaii
Hawaii was known to be a good location for sailors to resupply their ships on journeys.
Overtime (mid 1800s) we see that many U.S. farmers (planters) begin to farm sugar cane on the Island.
These planters become powerful enough that they want the king of Hawaii to sign a treaty limiting his power.
US removes tariffs on sugar, planter become rich.
The Tariff Act of 1890, raised the average duty on imports to nearly 50%, an act designed to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. Protectionism, a tactic supported by Republicans, was fiercely debated by politicians and condemned by Democrats. The McKinley Tariff was replaced with the Wilson–Gorman Tariff Act in 1894, which promptly lowered tariff rates.
